Storyline
Copenhagen, early 1900s—Karoline’s pregnant, broke, and desperate for a lifeline, so she lands a gig as a wet nurse for Dagmar, this mysterious, older woman running what looks like a candy shop. But, surprise, it’s just a front. Dagmar’s actually running a secret adoption network, slipping unwanted babies from struggling moms into the hands of foster families. At first, Karoline’s just grateful for a roof, some cash, and a bit of kindness in a cold city—she even starts seeing Dagmar as a mentor. But as days go by, the candy shop’s sweetness starts to rot around the edges. The truth? It’s not all noble charity work. There’s loss, heartbreak, and a twisted side to the whole operation that Karoline never saw coming. She’s caught between helping these women and confronting the ugly secrets that Dagmar keeps locked away, realizing too late just how deep she’s gotten herself. In this world, trust is slippery, and nobody gets out untouched.
